As a lvl70 Fury warrior i was assisting a friend in doing this quest chain. This mob hits fairly hard (1k on plate w/o a shield) and curses you (+100% physical Damage taken).

Also, all my attacks against it had a severly impared effect, causing 50% or less damage. Magic attacks had their damage bolstered.

ok, fighting this guy was quite tough at first (have never played as a moonkin so had to remember my time pre level 10 ;)

first of all he has a throw ability that does an amount of damage around 600 per hit. he also puts a curse on you that increases physical damage taken by 100%Now the best part is that he fires a viper sting that drains your mana, it stacks up to five times (i think) and its lethal, so keep abolish poison up as soon as it hits you. Oh also, dont let him get in melee range, keep him rooted because he hits you for over 2k, and he attacks quite fast.

I had to pop a mana pot but i got him and ended on low health (had no +dmg gear at all but your spell attacks do increased dmg as stated above)

So in summation, clear the area immediately surrounding the statue, keep him rooted, dispell yourself when poisoned, and just nuke him down.

Spell damage against this guy is crazy. I got a 13.9k starfire in elf form (I am full resto). A bit of spell damage gear should sort this guy out :)

This npc is meant to be killed using magic. Do not bother going into any of your feral forms. Even if you are feral spec, go humanoid form, root him and starfire him. Don't forget to renew Moonfires. Also remember to Abolish Poison and Remove Curse.

He uses Viper Sting taking away mana, and puts a curse on you increasing physical damage.

Druids will need to kill this fellow in The Hawk's Essence as part of the quest line beginning with any druid trainer in Darnassus, Thunderbluff, or Moonglade (when the druid is level 70 and 300 riding skill) to obtain Swift Flight Form (or Epic Flight Form, if you prefer.)
